Nationwide student protests demand ICE withdrawal as Trump wavers

Student organizers called for nationwide walkouts and 'no work, no school' protests to demand federal immigration agents pull out of Minnesota after the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens, with demonstrations expanding despite mixed signals from Trump on Operation Metro Surge. Officials pledged more targeted enforcement while Trump suggested the deployment wouldn’t shrink, and protests spread to dozens of states. The DOJ also arrested Don Lemon for a protest in St. Paul, fueling debate over First Amendment rights amid broader scrutiny of anti-immigration protests and waning public support for the administration’s policy.
